That may be your opinion and certainly one you are entitled to, however I certainly consider it flawed.

Many people simply want to use a device that allows them to read a book. Not be distracted by emails, pop ups, notifications and the lure of Facebook, games, youtube and other apps. Tablet devices have their place but as an ereader?...

No, I do not truly believe they can take that role over as yet.

I have had my fill of using my iphone as a reader out of house. The constant interruptions detract from my reading experience. Now that is something my ereader never does, the only distraction being my warm wife next to me.

I only have to charge my ereader once a month too, whilst my iphone is charged every day.
